I have discovered an S&W 25-2 with packaging I've never seen before. There is a cardboard shipping box with the kind of informative stickers I'm used to seeing attached to the blue slip top or clamshell boxes (S/N, product code, bbl length, etc). Within this box is a cardboard spacer, the customary but un-marked blue slip-top box containing the revolver (more on that later) tools, and papers. Underneath all THAT is a wooden presentation case. It is apparently of a new design of the innards, in that it is not the blue flocked sort. There is a lidded compartment in the case for the tools, I guess.
The revolver is ANIB, if I can judge. I'm afraid to handle it much or work the action, b/c I can hardly detect the turn line on the cylinder. Did the revolvers get cycled enough at the factory to cause this? I also found a small baggie with full moon clips in the blue box. Did S&W ship these, d'ye reckon? The S/N of the revolver is N805xxx, and someone had scribbled a price on the exterior of the shipping box.
$399.99
Reckon what such thing might actually fetch from a collector?
I will post pictures next week, if I can, but right now, curiousity consumes me.
